(1) The Sacred Fire from heaven.
I
I myself, Śrī-Madhurendrasūri, saw this Fire falling from heaven, here, at the time of the arrival of Śrī-Vīraśakti in 1138 [Śaka].
II
I have seen the Fire lighting up the directions of space [and] falling from heaven into the kingdom of Śrī-Jayavarman - a great wonder, which I believe will entail good results, [namely] high birth, two [good] eyes, and eminent family. May these be mine!
